Is it just a bunch of nerds sitting in a dark room trying to hack into MI6? Absolutely not. Well who knows, I’m not ruling that out as a possibility. A hackathon is where people from all walks of life get together in a common place over a certain period of time to work on a project. They often get a theme or topic to work with, and will be required to present or pitch their project at the en...

Some genius/Jedi has created a Chrome extension that uses pattern matching logic to warn you of potential star wars spoilers. God bless. At this busy time of year you’d be forgiven for not having had time to see the epic new Star Wars movie yet. While we’re sure you’ll be in the cinemas shortly, it’d be devastating to have it ruined by some filthy internet troll beforehand....

From the first time I saw Kim Jong Il’s circular face splashed across the media I was intrigued by the socialist, dystopian society he was in command. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea as it is commonly known to the outside world; was established after the Japanese Colonial Empire annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910; and the Soviet Union occupied the area above the 38th pa...

With exams and major assignments just around the corner there’s no doubt that us students will find as many ways as possible to avoid preparing for them. We are all guilty of setting out to smash a 2000 word essay and accidently tripping over on the way to your desk, landing on the couch, faced with no real option but to watch the TV screen in front of us. Procrastination is a special way of maint...

With an aux. cord comes great responsibility. And regardless of if you like it or not, your musical choices in the passenger seat can be amateur DJ career defining. So whether you’re a trusted performer who leads from the front with consistency (the ‘Plugger Lockett’), or you’re the Zac Dawson of the squad and have the shitty haircut to match, find yourself below and I’ll walk you through the do’s...

I’ve thought long and hard about what to pick for the inaugural “Uni Deal of the Week,” and I think you’ll be pretty stoked with what I’ve found. Deal: All you can eat Buffalo Wings. Location: University of Melbourne, The Corkman (Irish Pub) Time: Friday afternoon/evening, weekly. There’s an old saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”. I am a firm b...

Let’s face it; sticking to a regular university timetable is about as likely as doing optional readings. On the rare occasion you’re actually on campus, there’s really no way of knowing which of your mates are going to be around. Eating lunch by yourself is a familiar and inevitable notion, so here’s a few ways to show you’ve actually got m8’s. The phone call We’ve all got that one mate that is ne...

There aren’t many places you can go these days to get a quiet timeout. Apart from the ever-increasing pressure on Uni students to get good grades, this is probably the reason finding a seat at the library is harder than studying itself. You finally find an empty seat on the silent level. After some final procrastination in setting up your books, filling your water bottle and taking one last glance...

CRAZY STORY!!! 100% LEGIT!!!! LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!!! THIS ALL HAPPENED!!! Okay, so today was a day of running errands (what a word! Errand! One of my favourites!)… I had been all around town, from the Newsagency for a deck of footy cards, to the pharmacist for some creams/ ointments (you’ll be happy to know my downstairs-heat-rash has already settled beyond belief!) Anywho, back to ...

INSANE STORY!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! 100% LEGIT!!! YOUR LOSS IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT!!! Okay, so I’m at the RMIT library doing some work/ playing doodle jump, killing time whilst waiting for my next class. The library was as packed as Hazza Young‘s Smash lunchbox and as a result was starting to get a bit too toasty for my liking, so I take off my jumper. An Indian fella asks if he can join...
